Making a template ain't easy. :)
After seing Teza's screenies of the Phoebus' Harp ability, i had to include that in my template.
I've made 2 so far that i'm quite happy with. The difference between the 2 are Malice/Hardened Cetus Skin/Band of Shadow in the 1st and Battler/Shades of Mist/Ring of the Torrent in the second.

I would of course prefer the one with Malice, since i have that(except scrolls), the cloak and Band of shadow.
Don't have Battler/SoM or Ring of the Torrent, but wanted to make a template using Battler anyway.

The beauty of this, is that i only use 2 crafted pieces of armour in both templates, legs and boots.
Except the mentioned items, all others are the same.
If i ever get all the items, i can swap the weapon, cloak, 1 ring and the 2 pieces of armour if i want to. :)

Which one do you guys like the most?

Until they nerf the gfx on shade form, Shades of mist is simply the best thing a solo skald can have. Fgs can run right past you and not see you. So go with that that template imo

I don't remember when the new shadeform is, but i think it's in 1.69?
I wont get Battler/Malice as a hammer untill then:\
So this is for post 1.69=)

Ah, well the shade form ablative is pretty good too :)

Shadeform + phoebus charge + Ap + AoF

That would take some killing

Ring of Torrent ain't hard to come by, I wouldn't let *that* item stop you, if I were you.

Nah, it's just that i spent all my money, and some more, on Band of Shadow :D
But 1.69 is far away, so i can farm more.

So most of you would say Battler+SoM then, as the better choice?
I know i get more +melee damage with that, but i do have +5 more str cap and some hits/con with Malice...
Is the SoM really that great?

Dont seem to have any sshots from RvR, always forget :)

Heres one from a duel though, this is fairly common in RvR

The only problem I have with the phoebus neckie is you have to survive 15 mins after porting to emain :p

Yeah, that's one thing about that neckie.
I suppose that will be better in New Frontiers, without any porting.
Also one of the reasons to go for the Battler/SoM template. When Phoebus' is down, i can use SoM.
I still kinda like my Malice setup though. :p

More +str cap can never be a bad thing.

Edit: I like Odin's a lot anyway. No porting there=)

Yeah odins is either dead or very busy atm though :(

Frontiers might be nice, assuming the landing points aren't camped all the time.

Nice templates m8.
I also think the 2nd one is better, and pretty good for a soloer, tho the items are harder to get ;P
It's very similar to mine, which is more group skald orientated (no dex or parry) and all capped resist but spirit. Only problem is that it uses zahur ring (ouch^^).
